Thank you, Comic Con. I knew they would show a trailer today during the panel:



I’m just excited to see some footage from season nine finally. But man, Twelve needs a haircut. Aside from that we get hints of:

- Missy’s back. No surprise there. She seems to be on a desert planet with Clara. I just read that she's back in an unusual way. I wonder if maybe she's like an apparition or something, like a ghost haunting the Doctor or Clara in their darkest moments.
- Zygons! Kidnapping kids. I’m glad they’re coming back. They deserve an episode of their own. Since the Zygons are back, I'm sure that means that's how we're getting Osgood back, too.
- Daleks. Meh. But interesting looking Dalek planet perhaps?
- Underwater base. Or something underwater. They haven’t visited an underwater base in a long time.
- Clara in a spacesuit. And the Doctor hugging Clara while she’s in said spacesuit. I bet this is a “OMG,you're not dead!” hug. That’d be the only reason he’d hug Clara, because he’s never hugged her willingly before. Actually, I think there was something about a mellower Doctor this season. The hug would certainly jive with that. And the Doctor and the Companion need an epic hug every once and a while.
- The Doctor playing guitar. Um, sure. I know Peter Capaldi can play the guitar and sing so will we get to hear the Doctor singing? I’m not sure I’m sold on his costume, though. The t-shirt and plaid trouser combo looks way too casual. It’s like the Doctor just rolled out of bed. I really hope that it's just for one episode, like he's in disguise or something. The sunglasses seem to be important. Is he wearing them to detect something people usually can't see?
- Maisie Williams. I don’t watch Game of Thrones, but it’s still a pretty big deal that she’s a guest star. Looks like her character knows the Doctor and he knows her. A character we’ve met before? Is she a Time Lord? Is she Susan? Romana? River? But she calls him “Old Man”. Hmm… I'm sure that whoever she is, her character will be the kind that can't reappear very often, since Maisie Williams is committed to Game of Thrones.

The premiere is much later than I expected, though. September 19. If we’re getting 13 episodes and the BBC plays them straight, without interruption, then that takes us to two weeks before Christmas. So either there’s not much of a wait this year or, and I dread this, they’re cutting the season in half again like they did with season 6 and 7. I really hope they’re not splitting the season.

In other trailer news, there was a trailer for Lego Dimensions, a new Lego video game. It features Twelve quite heavily, which is misleading, since he’s part of an expansion pack and not part of the initial game release. Despite that, Lego!Twelve! I would totally buy the game just so I could play the Doctor Who expansion pack. And, apparently, when you die, you regenerate into one of the Doctor’s other incarnations. So I guess when you die as Twelve, you cycle back to One and then you go chronologically from there.

I’m expecting more Comic Con goodness over the next couple of days. God, this is a wonderful time of the year for geeks.
